SPARKS EXAMINED

The preliminary examination of Charles H.
 Sparks for passing alleged counterfeit money ! was begun before United States Commission ! CT Johnson T. Platt yesterday morning. City ! Attorney Hugh Daley conducted the prose- | cution, while Hobart L. Hotchkiss appeared | for Sparks. Hannah Melia, who made the | complaint, testified that the prisoner owed | her mother bill of $22 for his wife's board, ! which was contracted over year and half | ago. She held as security for it Q gold watch belonging to Sparks. After the latter opened | boarding house on Greene street in this city the witness received several letters from the Sparks saying they would pay the bill and asking the return of the watch. Finally in answer to letter she visited them on July F. She took supper with them and after supper Mrs. Sparks took her into her bedroom
 where this counterfeit piece was lying on
 bureau with other money and gave it to the witness after she wrote @ receipt
 Sparks also gave her two dollar bill and added @ dollar to pay her expenses to and from Centerville. Miss Melia, however, suspected that the piece was a counterfeit and took it to a jeweler, where her suspicious were confirmed. She then made the com- plaint.
 Detective Reilly told how the prisoner de- nied having given the piece to Miss Melia at first, and testified as to his behaviour at the time of his arrest. Commissioner Platt said that he felt satisfied that Mrs. Sparks did not know the money was counterfeit, but he did not think the prisoners behaviour at the time of his arrest was that of an innocent man and he would have to find probable cause and bind him over for trial. He fixed the bond, however, to S250 at the request of MT. Hotchkiss.

one another OF disagree, they still remain
true and firm upon one point, and that is
that this part of the State is the best pol
ton of the earth. and to live elsewhere is
not living at all. And not only do these
papers think so, but they show that they
mean what they say, and they show that
they mean to bring this part of the State to
the notice of the world. if by any effort of
theirs it can be successfully done To that
end they have each recently issued large
editions of their papers, finely illustrated,
and containing most comprehensive and
exhaustive description of our country, its
resources and future capabilities. Il is
